Configure the RSLinx Ethernet
Communication Driver

Overview

To communicate with your adapter over your network, you must configure the
RSLinx Ethernet Communication Driver (AB_ETH) or the EtherNet/IP driver
(AB-ETHIP). You can configure the AB_ETH driver with the IP addresses of all
the Ethernet devices on your system. You need one of these drivers to download
the example application programs in this manual.

See the table for a list of the contents of this Appendix.

Install the RSLinx Software

Use this procedure to install the

RSLinx software on your computer.

1. Insert the CD in the CD-ROM drive.

Note that the CD-ROM supports Windows Autorun. Once inserted into
the CD-ROM drive, if you have Autorun configured, the installation
automatically starts at the first setup screen.

If Autorun is not configured for your CD-ROM drive, go to step 2.

2. From the Start menu, choose Run. The Run dialog opens.
3. Type D:/setup (if it doesn’t appear automatically), where D: is your CD-

ROM drive letter.

4. Click OK.

The progress bar, followed by the welcome screen opens.
